Stealth Cars

Filed under: General — Tags: — m759 @ 8:09 pm

From a June 8, 1987, New York Times  review of
Stephen King's novel Misery

"She doesn't like Fast Cars , the manuscript of which she found
in his traveling bag. It's confusing and the language is profane."

From the IMDb biography of film director Rob Cohen —

"He attended Harvard University and graduated
magna cum laude  in the class of '71, concentrating
in a cross major between anthropology and visual studies."

"He is the creator of The Fast and the Furious (2001),
Universal Pictures' biggest franchise of all time."

Cohen also directed Stealth  (2005). See a Sam Shepard fan site.

Sam Shepard Reportedly Died on Thursday, July 27.

MOVIE REVIEW from The New York Times

'Distance,' Sensitive Film Story

By RICHARD EDER

Published: December 22, 1975

Sometimes "Distance" is awkward and sometimes it is misconceived, but it had a central virtue lacking in a number of more elaborate and—to use a horrible word—cinematic films around.

It wants to be made. It believes in itself, in its story, in its characters; and that belief pulls viewers into it. Sometimes they are pulled too hard, or in a certain embarrassment because the sequence is obvious or excessive or telegraphed in advance.

But self-belief is an arousing quality, especially at a time when an extreme of baroque weariness gives movies such as "Three Days of the Condor" or Sam Peckinpah's "Killer Elite" the hopeless feeling that they are meant for an empty theater.

See also Log24 posts on and just after the date of Eder's demise.

"The reason, therefore, that some intuitive minds
are not mathematical is that they cannot at all
turn their attention to the principles of mathematics.
But the reason that mathematicians are not intuitive
is that they do not see what is before them, and that,
accustomed to the exact and plain principles of
mathematics, and not reasoning till they have well
inspected and arranged their principles, they are lost
in matters of intuition where the principles do not
allow of such arrangement. They are scarcely seen;
they are felt rather than seen; there is the greatest
difficulty in making them felt by those who do not
of themselves perceive them."

The New York TImes  reports this evening that
"Jon Underwood, Founder of Death Cafe Movement,"
died suddenly at 44 on June 27. 

This  journal on that date linked to a post titled "The Mystic Hexastigm."

A related remark on the complete 6-point   from Sunday, April 28, 2013

(See, in Veblen and Young's 1910 Vol. I, exercise 11,
page 53: "A plane section of a 6-point in space can  
be considered as 3 triangles perspective in pairs
from 3 collinear points with corresponding sides
meeting in 3 collinear points." This is the large  
Desargues configuration. See Classical Geometry
in Light of Galois Geometry
.)

This  post was suggested, in part, by the philosophical ruminations
of Rosalind Krauss in her 2011 book Under Blue Cup . See 
Sunday's post  Perspective and Its Transections . (Any resemblance
to Freud's title Civilization and Its Discontents  is purely coincidental.)

George Conwell gave an early demonstration of Galois geometry in 1910 when he characterized a solution of Kirkman's schoolgirl problem as a partition of sets of skew lines in PG(3,2), the three-dimensional projective geometry over the Galois field GF(2).[3] Similar to methods of line geometry in space over a field of characteristic 0, Conwell used Plücker coordinates in PG(5,2) and identified the points representing lines in PG(3,2) as those on the Klein quadric.

opting for — to give one example — either the difficult but
rewarding heights of Mt. Parnassus or the easy pleasures of
Mr. Nick's Lounge Bar. As the doctor angrily puts it when asked
what he's playing at, 'We don't play, what we do is deadly serious,' 
which means nothing less than the eternal battle with the devil
for the spirit of man."

Practically Cubist

Filed under: General — m759 @ 3:45 am

From an Anthony Lane movie review in the April 8, 2013,
issue of The New Yorker

"When the Lord God forbade his worshippers to bow down
before any graven image, [Rosario] Dawson’s face was
exactly the kind of thing He had in mind. No other star can
boast such sculptured features—except Vincent Cassel,
who is pretty damn graven himself. When the two of them
make love, in 'Trance,' one strong bone structure pressed
against another, it’s like a clash of major religions. What if
they had a family? The kids would be practically Cubist."

As for the other film Lane reviewed in that issue, "Blancanieves" —

See Snow White + Cube in this  journal.
